Explanation:

The faster a stream flows, the larger the size of particles it is able to transport.

Fast moving stream due to their velocity and momentum can exert more force and impact larger materials more causing them to move readily.

The faster the speed of stream the larger the size of sediment it is able to transport.
This why the edges of oceans contains very coarse particles whereas the still deeper waters are made up of fines.
A stream is able to transport sediments in three forms:
As solution in dissolved forms
As bedload which made up of large boulders.
As suspension
